Table below shows the use of water by four different countries (in million litres).
Bài mẫu 1:
The table compares water consumption, in million litres, for three different sectors in four nations. Overall, water usage for agriculture is highest in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, whereas the industrial sectors in New Zealand and Canada exploit the most water. Additionally, home irrigation accounts for the least water in most given countries, except for Egypt.
Regarding water resources allocated to household activities, Egypt ranks first at 12 million litres, followed by Saudi Arabia with a slightly lower figure of 10 million. Water consumption levels in New Zealand and Canada are fairly comparable at 8 and 6 million, respectively.
Turning to industrial water usage, Canada witnesses the highest volume of industrial water use at 70 million litres. The amount of water used for this sector in New Zealand is 46 million, which is markedly higher than Saudi Arabia, at 30 million litres and nearly five times higher than Egypt, at only 10 million litres.
Concerning water for agricultural purposes, 82 million litres is used by Egyptian people, which is the highest overall. This is followed by Saudi Arabia and New Zealand, at 64 and 44 million litres, respectively. In contrast, Canadian residents only use 10 million litres for farming purposes. (199 words)

Additionally, home irrigation accounts for the least water in most given countries, except for Egypt.
Regarding nations that use most of their water for agriculture, Egypt uses the highest volume of water at 82 million. Its industrial and domestic water usage are enormously lower, at 10 and 12 million, respectively. As for Saudi Arabia, this country consumes 64 million litres for agriculture, which is more than double the amount of water used for industries, at 30 million, and over six times as high as that for households, at 10 million.
Concerning the remaining countries, industrial and agricultural water usage in New Zealand are responsible for a comparable figure of approximately 45 million. Water consumption for households is 8 million in this nation. Furthermore, the levels of domestic and agricultural water use in Canada are the lowest among all given nations at 6 and 10 million, respectively despite ranking first in water usage for the industrial sector at 70 million.

(IELTS Academic – 3/6/2023)
Question: If old people are no longer physically, mentally or financially able to look after themselves, younger family members should be legally responsible for supporting them. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
ANSWER:
A school of thought suggests that younger relatives should be legally bound to tend to their older ones should they become incapable of living on their own due to physical, mental or financial constraints. I somewhat disagree with this notion as although the seniors could benefit to the senior’s well-being, it could worsen family connection and pose financial challenges to the young generation.
The foremost basis for my opposition is that this approach could strain family relationships. Specifically, the decision to provide care for aging relatives should be based on compassion and a sense of moral responsibility, rather than being enforced by law. By imposing it as a legal requirement, the intrinsic value of family bonds and voluntary care may be compromised and transformed into merely forced duties, which may eliminate entirely the genuine affection from the act of caring.
Further support for my negative view is that this regulation could pose economic difficulties for other members. Many individuals may not possess the necessary financial resources to adequately support their elders. Additionally, they may also be responsible for other dependent family members, such as their children, as well as their own needs including pursuing education, building careers, and starting their own families. Ultimately, this strategy could lead to financial distress and further hinder their personal growth.
However, I concede that mandatorily requiring support from younger family members can ensure the well-being of the elderly population. As individuals age, they often develop physical and mental limitations that deter them from independently meeting fundamental demands. Numerous elders, as an example, experience a permanent reduction of limb flexibility, which increases the difficulty of movement to perform daily activities. By imposing this regulation, senior citizens can receive a safety net that guarantees access to healthcare, accommodation, and daily assistance, thereby enhancing their quality of life.
In conclusion, despite several benefits to the seniors, I partly disagree with the notion that youngsters should be legally obligated to take care of their elders, since it could undermine the intrinsic value of family ties, and burden young individuals with financial constraints. Instead, governments should implement social policies that provide assistance to the aging populations. (357 words)
